Do you hold a PhD in cognitive neuroscience or cognitive neuropsychology? And do you want to delve into how impairments in neurobiological and psychological functioning underpin antisocial and maladaptive behaviors? As an Assistant Professor in the field of forensic cognitive neuropsychiatry you will combine approaches from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience and statistical modeling in your research, and inspire students with your teaching.
The Department of Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology (School of Psychology and Donders Centre for Cognition) has a position for an Assistant Professor in the field of forensic cognitive neuropsychiatry. This position encompasses both teaching (50%) and research (50%) activities.
You will be teaching in the areas of cognitive neuropsychiatry, cognitive neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, and will supervise Bachelor's and Master's thesis projects on topics relevant to forensic psychiatry (e.g. aggression). Your teaching will be part of the Bachelor's programme in psychology, the clinically-oriented Master's programme and the Research Master's programme in Cognitive Neuroscience (CNS) (the Bachelor's and CNS programme are English-language programmes, the clinical Master's programme is taught in Dutch). Your scientific research will be embedded in Dr Inti Brazil's SAMBA research group at the Donders Centre for Cognition, which is part of the Donders Institute. The research programme of this group mainly focuses on combining approaches from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience (e.g. neuroimaging) and statistical modelling methods in order to study how impairments in neurobiological and psychological functioning underpin antisocial and maladaptive behaviours. The research is conducted in individuals from the general community, psychiatric patient populations, incarcerated offenders, and forensic psychiatric populations. The research conducted by the SAMBA group is primarily embedded in Theme 2 (Perception, Action and Decision-making), but there are also extensive collaborations with researchers from Theme 3 (Development and Lifelong Plasticity). You will be expected to actively apply for grant-based and contract funding that will align with the research agenda of the Donders Institute in general and that of the Department of Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology in particular. The position offers excellent possibilities for career development.
Fixed-term contract: 1 year with the possibility of a permanent employment.
